I found this dress at Lovely Bride, a small bridal boutique in Soho in New York City. It is part of designer Sarah Seven’s permanent collection (see http://www.sarahseven.com/#!permanent-bridal/c1p5h). I originally had a different wedding dress until I realized it didn’t suit the wedding that was taking shape. I went out searching for a new wedding dress only a few months before the wedding. Once I tried on a Sarah Seven dress I knew that she was the designer I wanted to go with. All her dresses are super flattering, and feel one of a kind. I chose her Amour dress because it’s gorgeous, etherial, romantic and isn’t your traditional white bridal dress. Also the silk layers just flow and float when you walk. It really felt like I was wearing a piece of art.

My seamstress said a trademark of Sarah Seven is building her dresses on top of a bra. This meant that the dress really fit and was comfortable even for dancing. My seamstress bought in the waist a bit but left the bra unaltered. She also hemmed the dress.
My measurements for the wedding (dress fit me perfectly): waist: 26.5"; bust: 34"; bra: 34C; height: 5' 4.5"; weight: 118 lbs; dress seam: falls 41" from natural waist to floor (it just grazed the floor when I wore 1" heels); center bust to hem is 48".

Dress was dry cleaned and stored in a wedding dress box (acid free). A few stitches on both sides at my waist were pulled out while I was dancing, just a minor cosmetic issue. When I had the dress cleaned I had the tailor fix it but she used a slightly darker thread so I would recommend you have your wedding tailor repair when you get the dress fitted. I would be happy to send a close up picture of the area if you email me. I am charging $100 less so you can put that towards this repair, although it is a very minor so it will cost much less than that. Otherwise the dress is in beautiful condition.
